Magic Flower Workshop

In this one-day Level 2 workshop, we will guide you through the process of building your own magic flower! You'll be able to:

Customize your flower's colors and patterns by selecting from a variety of material options and styles.

Solder LEDs, a sensor, and a hobby servo motor to an Arduino microcontroller.

Program your Arduino to open and close and change the LEDs' colors based on sensor input. Depending on how quickly you progress, we'll also start to teach you how to program the flower with your own behaviors and different data inputs!

Please talk to us if you'd like to build your own flower but are unable to attend our workshop in-person. We can mail you a kit with materials and helpful instructions, as well as do online video chat if you get stuck.

Things we'll provide:

Basic electronics components of a small robot flower

Pre-made pieces 3D printed components

Pre-cut flower petals in a variety of materials that you can choose to integrate into your flower as well as additional materials that you can use to make your own petals/design

Additional materials and components for you to experiment with and buy if you like

Example/modular computer code that you can modify to create your own flower behaviors
